Female hearts a flutter across the world at the very mention of his name. George Clooney. No more is he one of Holywood’s most eligible bachelors. It’s official a lawyer has stolen his heart.

Amal Alamuddin a British human rights lawyer who has represented Wikeleaks founder Julian Assange and advised United Nations former secretary-general Kofi Annan on the Syrian crisis is the lucky lady.

The two share an interest in human rights. Clooney who has said he will leave his role working with the United Nations has remained tight-lipped on what will be his second marriage.

But Mrs Clooney has been spilling the beans – that’s his mother – saying the couple share a sense of fun – “we couldn’t be happier for them both.” she added.
